William Manning Marable was an influential social commentator, writer, and professor of political science, public affairs, history, and African American studies. He was born on May 13, 1950 in Dayton, Ohio
to James and June Morehead Marable. Previously married twice, he
married anthropologist Leith Mullings in 1996, and the couple remained
married until his death. He had three children; Malaika Marable Serrano,
Sojourner Marable Grimmett, and Joshua Manning Marable.
Marable graduated from Jefferson Township High School in 1968. As a high school senior Marable covered the 1968 assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. for Dayton, Ohio’s black newspaper, the Tattler. By that point he had developed a strong commitment to racial justice and its advocates. Marable earned his A.B. degree from Earlham College in Richmond, Indiana in 1971 followed by a Master’s degree in history from the University of Wisconsin in 1972. He earned his Ph.D. in history from the University of Maryland in 1976.

Knowledge for LIFE (Know4LIFE): In this video, Prof. Manning Marable speaks prophetically about the state of race
relations in America. I tape this lecture around the mid '90, but the
words are relevant today as they were when he spoke them.
